I think Candyman looks pretty good. Idk if it has enough to hit 20m+, gonna guess 15-16m but I guess we'll see.

Yeah Candyman looks good it should do well though I feel people will be waiting for Shang Chi next weekend instead.

Please do a poll on whether Candyman will open above or below Old and close the poll by Thursday.

In the Before Times it looked like Candyman was gonna be a major breakout, like $50M+ opening. However, along with the changing of the times, I think Antebellum might have soured some people on these socially-conscious horror flicks. There’s a big difference between the movies Jordan Peele directs and the ones he influences.

Should still do decently with its excellent trailers and (I assume) goodish reviews. I’ll give it $21M.

I hope this is a good horror and not too heavy on political/cultural messages like some reviews suggest.
